Players To Watch:
New York Rangers
Alexis Lafreniere is in a position to be a top scorer for the Rangers, given their trade deadline moves, and push them to an important victory over the Winnipeg Jets tonight. *insert note about Lafreniere’s last five games and if he’s on a hot or cold spell*
Winnipeg Jets
Kyle Connor can continue to pick up some significant points tonight against the New York Rangers in pursuit of a 100-point season. Winnipeg will continue to lean on Connor as he’s playing with a chip on his shoulder after being healthy-scratched from the Winter Olympic Games.
